Heather Travel Guide

Coalville

Site of Heather & Ibstock station. View westward, towards Heather on the B591 from Ibstock: the station had been in the dip ahead. It was on the ex-LNWR & Midland Joint (Ashby & Nuneaton) line from Nuneaton via Shackerstone (to left) to Coalville and Loughborough (right), the Charnwood Forest line. The station closed 13/4/31, but the line remained for goods until 7/10/63.

Sence valley, Ibstock. #takeahike
A beautiful summer's day. Then this cloud passed over. Sence valley plays to every mood each time I visit. I love where I live.
Horseshoe Lake Looking north over this bow-shaped lake at the centre of the forest park.
